Superfeet Sandman Triathlon & Duathlon 2026
An unforgettable adventure triathlon, The Sandman has been described as one of the most beautiful and thrilling multi-terrain races in the UK, offering a truly unique experience for athletes of all levels.
The race starts and ends in one of Anglesey’s most treasured spots, the incredible Newborough Forest, an exclusive area of 700ha of woodland adjacent to the world-famous Traeth Llanddwyn Beach.
One of the few Triathlons in the calendar with a beach start and sea swim, your supporters can build sandcastles and eat ice cream whilst you race!
The Superfeet Sandman is more than an unforgettable race — it’s also the grand finale of the Adventure Triathlon & Duathlon Series 2026.
